I am impatient! 10 months ago

I still have not received notice about if I have a little sister or not! I assume they would tell me if something came up, and I understand that now, right before break, is perhaps not the best time to make a new match, but still. Come now, folks. I want to mentor!

Currently 11 months ago

they are processing my application. Apparently there’s been an influx of volunteers lately, which is holding it up.

I’m going to do the school-based program, which my interviewer convinced me is so much better for me given the place in my life than the community-based program. And upon thinking about it, even though I like kids, having a comparatively intense relationship with the one child (and the parents) over the next year would be really hard. This, at least, I feel like I can handle.

I go to an elementary school once a week and hang out for an hour. The school I will be assigned to (barring any unexpected, freakish discoveries in my background check), though it has a population of kids that really struggles, very much supports BBBS and provides lots of toys, activities, etc. There’s also quite a bit of institutional support.

I have the application 1 year ago

but I don’t have the time to fill it out right now. I have to obtain my driving records from the state of Colorado and get people who have seen me interact with children (people who live in Colorado) to fill out an application. This may take a while.
